To determine if 5820 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5820.
If the factors of 5820 are only 5820 and 1, then we know that 5820 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5820 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5820 is only divisible by 1 and 5820, then it is a prime number, and if 5820 is divisible by more than 5820 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5820 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60, 97, 194, 291, 388, 485, 582, 970, 1164, 1455, 1940, 2910, 5820
Therefore, since 5820 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5820 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5821 prime or composite?
